Do 'The Stanley' otherwise I'll thrash you with some rhubarb.

Bravo Rachel - well said - although you have to bear in mind, Peter has been waiting up for hours to attend the Grey Room when we're all in attendance; in his curiously post-coloni(c)al part of the world it's well gone three in the morning - filthy stopout!

As you should be Jared - it's one of the finest recordings (and certainly my favorite) of the cycle ; if you like that, I'd seriously recommend Mahler's symphonic cycle, particularly the 2nd, 4th & the magificent 8th (Symphony of a thousand):



Here's another favorite from my collection:



You won't hear Dvorak played better

Many think she was the "best' cellist ever:

blimey, I've only been away for a few hours, and there's about 25 posts to read...(most of them incomprehensible, and by Peter....LOL)
 
I have taken in lots of your comments...I certainly think Lee is on the right lines, while I have to say I also like Handel's Waterbiscuits..er, I mean Watermusic...Ermm and know I need to explore some more Dvorak... I will take note on your recommendations, one and all....Big%20smile

are there any Fugs fans in the grey room?  There's a new boxset coming out in a couple of weeks - 4 CDs, of which discs 3 and 4 are unreleased 60s material

Yes they do make them thick & flaky on Newfoundland, don't they?



That's me guaranteed for an unscheduled 'dip' in the harbour when Pete & I meet in a few weeks

I just found out my mum has to have her one remaining kidney removed. She's poorly and she's stubborn and I'm feeling like an utter fckwit.

strap her up and throw away the key I think. She wont have a transplant, it's not viable, which is probably why I am so wound up, I always assumed I'd just give her one of mine. So dialysis and wishful thinking.
 
I just need a couple of days to get my head around it, then I'll get back to my normal bossy self.
 
Thanks for the huggie

Ditto in spades, Rachel - really sorry to hear that (and after you made her famous on YouTube, too); hope things go as well as possible for her (and you)...
